Dance Dynamics Shining Stars

Shining Stars is a Special Needs Dance Team for male and female dancers with developmental disabilities (any age) that will perform as an exhibition team at dance competitions. This team is designed to develop body awareness and motor skills, explore rhythmic activities and creative movement, increase self-esteem, and encourage self-expression in a positive, safe, and nurturing team environment.

Shining Stars is coached by Melissa Powell, a Special Education, Life Skills, teacher at The Woodlands High School. Melissa is in her 11th year with Dance Dynamics. She has a degree in Special Education and has over 25 years experience with Special Education Students. Shining Stars is assisted by several parent and student volunteers.

Shining Stars will meet once a week for a 45 minute class. Dancers will have a 15-minute technique class to work on stretching, turns, & leaps, followed by their 30-minute team practice.

To join the team, there is a $50 registration fee. The monthly payment will be $60 per month, which includes the dance tuition. Costumes for performances are not included in the monthly fee and will be determined at a later time.
